Is it an easy job? My mechanic who does all my work doesn't normally mess with gearboxes, but I read it's a 15 minute job so should I hassle him into it or get someone else to do it?

Thanks

I like getting stuck in myself but don't have a ramp obviously and have never done anything close to this technical. Is it a DIY jobbie or should I leave it to a pro? Cheers for the offer but I live near Cambridge and don't think that's anywhere near you :)

It's a DIY job. Just need to get the wheel off and the cover on the passenger side no need for a ramp

So I can do this with a car jack out the back of my house and it's unlikely I'll **** it up? I dropped the engine in my zx6r to save money when getting work done on that and got that back together alright, just so you know my experience....

I'm gonna tackle the O2 shim as well next weekend. Looks quite easy. I have whine in 1st and getting in to reverse can be a bit tricky at times so hoping this will solve it :)

Yes no problem. Jack it up take of wheel and panel at end of box

Remove the black cap with a screwdriver ( you'll need to replace this ) then you see the end of the shaft

stick your finger in the hole and pull the shaft as far as it will come and there is a circlip type thing round it get that of ( I used circlip pliers but you'll manage with a couple of screwdrivers) put the shim over the shaft put the clip back on and the new cover job done!
